In this essay, I intend to talk over the ways in which the poems DulceEt decorousness Est and Charge Of The Light Brigade represent war. Iwill discuss the themes of close, emotions, conditions and opinion.In Dulce Et, death is tapen as horrific and that of terriblesuffering.His hanging present like a devils sick of sin.This simile describes the way in which the poet Wilfred Owen byword the custody suffering.

However, when some(prenomin al) poems have been read, the readersees war as even more self-conceited because the men know that it is almostimpossible to achieve victory against so many enemies, so they are ineffect going in to the battle to die for no reason. However, theCharges poet shows the men as honourable because they did notquestion the orders.Both poems show that death is not important. In Dulce Et, death is a
